Good course for the price. Some maintenance work is needed. The caddies were the best part! Funny, personable, and very good. They read the greens accurately and found our balls easily. A great time overall.
Fairways where nice this time, greens were pretty good, it rained during the middle of my round so they slow down. Quite busy at the time still high season. But good bang for your buck. Club House and locker rooms need a makeover.
My local golf course, it's in great condition at the moment. It's 2 9 holes right now, next year it will be three. Not much going on in the clubhouse. The caddies are generally good.
